O the one with smaller hips, who dissolved me in kumkuma*
When you apply turmeric in your chest andtake bath, you apply me a little bit, O mother
Change me a little bit as a bell for your anklets, O mother
O the one with smaller hips, who dissolved me in kumkuma
When you apply turmeric in your chest and take bath, you apply me a little bit, O mother
Change me a little bit as a bell for your anklets, O mother
Tears rolling in one eye, life escaping out of lips
Because of you I have to die some times and born some times
Like the leaf which falls over river runs through the river
My heart is with you, it runs backwards
Forgetting the seasons, the forest tree blossoms
O the one with smaller hips, who dissolved me in kumkuma
When you apply turmeric in your chest and take bath, you apply me a little bit, O mother
Change me a little bit as a bell for your anklets, O mother
Like how the conch shell of Kamba fell, you enter into my eyes and give me itchy feeling
The jasmine who jumped out of branch, you’re smiling and talking a language
You kept your mouth over my mouth and sucked the words
The heat produced due to your fingers pressed over my neck didn’t go yet
There’s no one white like you, even your ankles are not black
The part of body you touch will be sweeter
So the remaining body should have a blessing hereafter
O the one with smaller hips, who dissolved me in kumkuma
When you apply turmeric in your chest and take bath, you apply me a little bit, O mother
Change me a little bit as a bell for your anklets, O mother
Just one time hugging me tightly, you stop my breath, O the apple of my eye
To go out by piercing your back, still there is little bit pending, O my
Small talk like rain, a look like heat from the sun
Can you come till my body is buried under the sand?
With your life in my hands, how come you can be buried in sand?
Am I not inside your life?
Even the death which comes to take your life will get confused
O the one with smaller hips, who dissolved me in kumkuma
When you apply turmeric in your chest and take bath, you apply me a little bit, O mother
Change me a little bit as a bell for your anklets, O mother
Tears rolling in one eye, life escaping out of lips
Because of you I have to die some times and born some times
Like the leaf which falls over river runs through the river
My heart is with you, it runs backwards
Forgetting the seasons, the forest tree blossoms
O the one with smaller hips, who dissolved me in kumkuma
When you apply turmeric in your chest and take bath, I’ll apply me a little bit
I ll change me a little bit as a bell for your anklets
